Don't you hate the rat race we all find ourselves trapped in? We get so caught up in work and the craziness of life that the most important days of the year sneak up on us. Then, one day we get up and realize, oh know! I'm not prepared for the holidays! That happened to me this week. I haven't sent out a single Testivus card or greeting this year. So, without further ado, here are this year's carols. Happy Testivus everyone!

Testivus Is Coming to Town

(to the tune of Santa Claus Is Coming to Town)

You better watch out

You better not cry

You better not pout

I'm telling you why

Testivus is coming to town

We're making a list, We're checking it twice; If everyone passed it would be nice. Testivus is coming to townThey know when you've been teaching They know when you're a fake They know if you've been bad or good Based on the test they take Without a pay raise or even kind wordsWe march to the beat of the testing overlordsTestivus is coming to townYou better watch out You better not cry You better not pout I'm telling you why Testivus is coming Testivus is comingTestivus is coming to townE-O-G's(to the tune of Silver Bells)E-O-G's, M-S-L'sIt's testing time in the school houseBub-bl-ling answer sheetsSoon it will be testing day
